SPEECHLESS

Henry Coleman: A Quip for All Seasons.

That isn’t actually what it says on my business cards – what it actually says is Henry Coleman: Insert Current Job Here -- but I’m pretty sure it’s how the good people of Oakdale, USA would describe me. On those occasions when they bother to think of me at all.
